The very basics How to carve a wood spirit with a dremel for the very beginner carver.

[@kstatinet-wk2gh]

Dremel 4000-7/50 High Performance Rotary Tool Kit with Flex Shaft 50 accessories and 7 attachments was on clearance in Costco store for $50 and it is still online for $70 -- for all those retirees asking about hobby and thinking they need to spend $600 like one posted before

[@CarvingFusion]

Wow I'll look into that thank u

[@jordanberumez]

“It’s not going to look like mine, it’s going to look like yours.” Need to trademark that phrase! The bob ross of dremel! Amazing video! And very appreciative of coming across this video!

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank you

[@tedsargent8905]

@jordanberumez5983 I keep hearing in my head "carve deeper "

[@shannonbuchko15]

Idk if it’s your voice, technique, artistic abilities, or combo of all plus more but this is probably the best how to video I have ever watched and I appreciate you so much for taking time to make it for us. Your awesome.

[@CarvingFusion]

Awww thank you Shannon

[@joanneg7646]

I tried a wood spirit - I have never carved in my life.. I'm a 60 yr old woman and my hands dont work very good.. well, I followed very slowly what he said, and it turned out pretty dam good. Yes anyone can do this!

[@norskibull2.021]

Great for you to just dive in and give something a try. From the sound of it, you got the woodworking itch now, nothing like it!

[@joanneg7646]

@norskibull2.021 I concur! It's a great hobby

[@justlooking2183]

This is awesome, just collected drift wood and came across your videos. please keep making videos. the cursing makes it that much better 😂👍

[@TheGreatest1974]

Amazing to think- that face was always in that piece of driftwood, it was just waiting there, for years and years, for you to come along and reveal it to us. 👍🇬🇧

[@YooTooobJeff]

It's great that you get others to believe they can do it too, all good coaches teach us there's more in ourselves than we knew was there... Thanks for showing us how

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank u

[@kristenwilson640]

Thank you for being so upbeat and encouraging! I’m an old lady who is just getting into woodcarving and have everything to learn. You make it seem possible that I can learn what I need to know! Appreciate your teaching techniques.

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank u, be safe and have fun

[@richardmccann4815]

Just be careful, those burrs can really do damage to your hands. Be sure to have a firm grip on the power head, and clamp the workpiece down securely. Wear safety glasses and protect from dust for breathing.

[@johncottle4464]

That’s me too but I’m an old burnout retired pharmacist trying to express some creativity!😎

[@gingebrien2408]

Great tutorial mate thank you.

You're absolutely an inspiration. You have me making beautiful wood spirits in my first attempts! Absolutely incredible instructional ability. I will buy you a coffee or two my friend

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank you very much :)

[@vellenmooneesawmy9907]

IDK why but this might be one of the best videos on youtube.

Great tutorial! Very thorough Thank you ! Patricia

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank you

[@KalenaEmrys]

I just ordered my first Kutzall burrs! I used your link and discount code, thank you. This is my second project. It ain't going great but it'll turn out alright in the end. No mistakes, only revisions!

[@CarvingFusion]

Yesssssss u can do it and ty

[@KalenaEmrys]

@CarvingFusion you're very welcome. Your videos are very helpful.

[@MichaelRey-hc2ow]

Hello Jordy, I’ve been following you for quite some time, it was your video that got me into carving 5-6 years ago. At 70 I’m slowly getting to where it’s tough to work with my hands,but turn on the dust collector, headphones and I’m lost in the world of carving for hours. Thanks for your advice, ideas! Your good Colorado carving buddy bikingmike

[@CarvingFusion]

Awsomw and be safe

[@unclejohnsband1517]

At 70 I'm ready for a new adventure/hobby. Fairly inexpensive, and entirely possible with your videos. Now to get my daughter to buy me a nice dremel setup for Christmas. Should get more use than the $600 I spent on an electric guitar setup a couple years ago that now sits and collects dust. With this, I can make dust. lol

[@CarvingFusion]

Haha yup u sure will and I just got a guitar that's collecting dust as well

[@jay8353]

Man one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, thank you. You actually explain everything perfectly and make me feel like I could actually do this. Cheers

[@CarvingFusion]

Thanks Jay and yes you can do it

[@Lolgkvsatcz]

It’s Odin, and I love it‼️

[@CarvingFusion]

Ty

[@danieltinaya8764]

So nice piece of art, I'll do one in next few days,,

[@SWIFTY5150]

Thanks for your lessons. I finally carved my first wood spirit using this video to guide me along. All I had was a nice 14" length of black walnut that I split in half. It's about 14" high and about 4" wide. I'm very happy with how it came out and think I found something new that I love to do. On my Facebook post of it, I tagged and thanked you. Maybe you'll pick up a few more followers.

[@shanerowe8604]

I fell asleep watching a different youtube video on Dremel Accessories, woke up to this one. Started it over and watched from the beginning and all I can say is, I like you, my wife. is not going to because guess who just picked up a new hobbie?! Ive never done wood carving before, never thought about wood carving, but I dig your video and your style so F it, ima give it ago. THANKS!

[@CarvingFusion]

Haah awesome and yes u can do it you just need to try! Ya I'm sure there is a few wife's that don't like me to much lol

[@Rood67]

I don’t know why KZbin recommended this video, I’m just fortunate that it did. I have owned a Dremel for probably two decades, and never really considered trying to carve with it. I have only used it as a utility tool for cutting or sanding. Thank you very much for the fantastic tutorial!

[@CarvingFusion]

Awesome ty too and you can do it

[@patriciataylor7750]

I was looking on KZbin "how to use a dremel" and hit on this video now I'm hooked ~ Easy clear instructions ~Thank you so much !!!

[@CarvingFusion]

:) ty and have fun

[@waynetarzwell2784]

Thanks for not over editing...it makes a difference. you have a gift my friend

[@clintoncollier]

Thanks!

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank you very much

[@stevegraves2968]

I came across your channel a year ago by chance. What a joy! I now have a new hobby/ art. Never disappointed. No right or wrong. Yes some are better then others. I have carved many different woods. Some are better then others. Walnut and osage orange are difficult to me. Sassafras, mulberry and Basswood ( a little fuzzy). Cherry not to bad, slower and different burs. Thanks, so much for sharing with us!! Carve on.

[@CarvingFusion]

Awesome thank you, try to find some cedar :)

[@lindaf6722]

I found your talent by accident. I loved your tutorial and would love to learn more tips. I admire. Your work.

[@tonystrolz697]

JORDY!! Okay ... So I was sitting around thinking about a new hobby I want to get into. I was always amazed by chainsaw carvings which led me to your videos. Within 10 minutes of watching this video I was ordering tools. Long story short, a week later and I have carved my first spirit and its so cooooooool!! Your guidance was so inspiring and helpful, the step by step tutorial, your encouraging demeanor mixed with your laid back but very detailed approach to training this stuff is outstanding! Thank you again, I know for me personally this will become a life long thing and I don't think I would have took the plunge had I not ran across your content! You're the man JORDY!!!

[@CarvingFusion]

Awesome, thank you

[@thomasnorthcastle4130]

Thank you soooo much for your time and knowledge. I’m preparing for cancer surgery in December and I’m getting myself setup for my downtime while I heal. This will become my medicine!!!

[@willbollman6246]

I've become completely addicted to wood carving since I realized I can actually do this. This video made it possible. I've watched others but none compare to your step by step instruction and encouragement. I've done a few of these now and each one is better than the last. I'm finding noses are my biggest challenge

[@CarvingFusion]

Awesome ? The more u do the better u will get, thank you

[@andrewcalvert2801]

Practice makes perfect, or so the saying goes

[@RobKirby-o2w]

I've been wanting a Dremel set for someone, this video has made me make up my mind. Thank you, great work.

[@lindabrown2211]

Jordy I say this every time. Thanks to you I carve to relax and yes my carves don't look like others I see but they are mine. Thanks for the positive thoughts you always send our way. Be well

[@CarvingFusion]

Thanks linda

[@tedsargent8905]

So I started watching your videos a couple weeks ago... I've done one so far.. and working on a 2nd... love it .

[@CarvingFusion]

Awesome congrats

[@jefflien2599]

Thanks for sharing this was the best how to any one has put forth!!!.

[@isis08131]

This is something I've always wanted to try since I bought a Man Of the Wood wood spirit. I always thought it was complicated but it's not. Thank you, sir, for your wonderful video!

[@CarvingFusion]

:)

[@capnchip]

Absolutely fantastic!!! I cannot hardly wait to give it a try. Super good instruction! Not very often does a video of this nature REALLY end up being very helpful. He was with you the whole way! Did I mention SUPER and Fantastic? So be it!

[@TomLumpkins]

I’m getting ready to retire and I have always had a interested in wood carving. Years ago, a cedar tree had fallen at a church in our area, it was really old, and I was given a 4 ft piece Right away I removed the bark and started carving with a chisel and a pocket knife, I carved a nose and eyes, a knot in the log became the nose. It was looking good. I went trucking and thought about my log all week. I got home the following weekend and was ready to get to work. When I saw my log it had cracked right down the middle of the face. I learned the lesson about letting the wood season . January the 5th I will throw the keys away to the big truck, a friend gave me a seasoned 4 foot cedar log. I watched this video and Brother you have given this old man inspiration. And a new purpose in life. I may be wrong but I’m assuming you are Canadian. I use to truck to a place called Oakville, north of Buffalo. I sure miss the Tim Horton coffee and fresh made Blue berry bagel. I’m Tom, Thank You Man

[@CarvingFusion]

Great storie thank u, get at it and have a blast

[@TomLumpkins]

3 more days, and no more Trailer trucking. Jordy, today the carving gods were with me, yes I had fun, I am so glad I landed on your space, You have inspired and got me motivated, And I had to get on here and thank you again. Once I get on top of the carvers mountain I’ll add a video on here. You are a very talented man . Thanks Man. 😊

[@TomLumpkins]

I’ve been retired for 3 wks, and I’ve watched this video many times. I wanted to share a picture of things I’ve done. But youtube wants a video. I will create one and share it with you. You are very inspiring. And a good teacher. I’d love to meet and shake hands with you. But I doubt I’ll ever get up your way. . Have a great day and stay warm. Tom

[@tarekmandour1498]

Thanks again Jordy. I started carving after watching a 3 piece video for beginners made by you. That’s what got me inspired. Every video that you put out, especially those for beginners always help me to improve. 😊

[@CarvingFusion]

Thank u and I hope you are having fun

[@phillipmatthews148]

Wow Jordy! I was glued to the screen,you’re awesome,many thanks for the lessons!

[@TaraD1999]

Thank you for not gatekeeping your techniques, excited to try this in near future

[@wayofthekodiak3118]

"I got some on his beard, i don't care" That's the type of attitude needed with art😂. Reminds me of Bob Ross's happy little mistakes.

[@johnathonwarrington6923]

This is absolutely fantastic!!! You have a great teaching technique!! I have a Dremil tool that I do so many things with but never had anyone with such a wonderful teaching technique to make me want to pick up wood and want to carve even more than I used to. I even use my Dremil tool to trim my Great Dane's toes with it. I absolutely love the look of faces carved out of wood.

Hi Jordy, I just stumbled onto your channel and was absolutely astonished and couldn’t stop watching! Fascinating to see the hair and face appear! I’m 78 and love my Dremel tool but never did any carving! What a blast I might have and I’m a female! So enjoyable watching you. Thanks for the excellent instruction. Ps, love the spiral design!

That is a nice bit. I'm going to need to get me one of them! I have never carved a wood spirit, I have carved several tiki totems. Similar but different.
